South Barrule Settlement

Archaeology

A Neolithic roughened-butt axehead of Ronaldsway type and 'of exceptional size' was found and donated to the Manx Museum in 1923 by Canon Quine (Accession No. 1954-0581). Worked flints were also found by Cowley ' some inches under the scraggy heather' at an altitude of about 244 metres. Above this level no worked flints were discovered. It is believed that these finds are evidence of a Neolithic settlment in the vicinty.
